Visiting Universal Studio Singapore and Song of The Sea

Last weekend my friend and I visiting USS and only spent a night at Singapore. Really a short trip but a loooott of accident -__-"

We had flight from Soekarno Airport to Changi on 10pm and arrived at Changi at 1am. Since the MRT start operated on 5:30am so we slept in the airport. And Changi Airport as usually is super cold place if you want to sleep. 

We stay at Hostel named Backpackers' Inn China Town. This was a great place. Near MRT and easy to access to everywhere.

Market along Chinatown MRT

We only spent two days and one night at Singapore. So after we took a bath at hostel (but not yet checked in because check in opened at 11am) we prepared our self to the main destination. To Sentosa Island!! 

Sentosa Island is small Island outside Singapore land but still in teritory of this country. Uniquely a long the view at this Island many boat come and go to this Island or from Singapore. Because this is the main income Singapore come from. Small country but important place to transit.

This is my first time to headed there. From Chinatown MRT you can took MRT to Harbour Front no need to interchange just direct to Harbour Front. Then go very upstair at Vivo Mall.

Before we entered the train. We exchange our booking print out of Song of The Sea to the entry tickets. 

For reached USS from Vivo City took Sentosa Express and stopped at Imbiah Station.

And lucky for us.. eventho that day was Saturday the crowd at Universal Studio Singapore not too crowded.

And here us at USS !! wohoooo

Enjoy the rides which not available at Dufan Jakarta 

At Jurassic Park 

Transformer 4D 

at Hollywood... do I already like Marilyn Monroe? without blowing skirt deffo :p

We finished at USS around 5pm. Because we already tired and felt enough to had another ride. So the next destination is Song of The Sea. Eventually the sky already pretty dark and cloudy and so we decided to hurry up to reach the Island Station. But after we reach Island Station the rain already started. But we also felt super starved. So we had dinner at McD. When we ate the rain getting heavier and the show will started at 7:15 pm.We kinda felt sleepy and worried would we able to enjoy the show while raining :s

But Alhamdulillah at 7pm the rain stopped! when we entered the Song of  The Sea the staff gave us plastic rain coat. Wow. I tho even the rain still on the show must go on.. wheew

Song of The Sea is story about the children in Singapore with multicultural people and there is a child who has a great voice. His voice make a pretty lady comes out from the sea. This pretty lady very rare to shown her self came out. But this boy very excited to saw her again. 

The great water show and beautiful lighting will mesmerizing you. 

Yup! Sentosa Island tour is finished. If you came to Singapore but not see and have pic in front of the famous Merlion is not complete yet! 

A little bit lost while headed Merlion Park. Because usually I just walked by to Merlion Park from Padang Field.

I saw my friends already super duper tired and Im so sorry this stupid leader tour made you got lost :(

Me and my friends had this joke. Before this Marina Bay Building exist most people come to Singapore had pic with Merlion but now they turn back to had pic with this coolest building in Singapore

Last Day of 2012

Today is the last day of 2012.

We survived from the end of the world.

No catastrophy so far. 

We prove the Mayans wrong.

Rainy season still on in my country. So avoid traveling spent time more with the love ones or check the weather forecast before you travel. At least you prepare.

My wish for 2013.... More traveling pleaseeeeeeeeee... 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013! Wohoooo

Let's make world to be a better place.

Last Trip on 2012

I love travelling. I tho it's already my ambition when I was a kid. I always envy with my father who often travelling around Indonesia for his job.

My father works at Goverment, Departement of Education and Culture but now it already separated into different  departement. His job was looking for the incription of heritage like temple, fort, fossil, museum thingy or anything related to our ancient. My father knows anything about old Indonesia. And I adore him for what he did in his job. 

Also I tho it was the coolest job.

When I was graduated from my junior high, I wanted to enter tourism high school. But my mother forbidden me. She was too conservative. She though, if I went to tourism high school, I won't be able go to college.

*sigh

Well hey look at the brightside now. 

Allah now exactly what I want and not forget my wish.

I went to college outside town at Bandung, far away with my mother and father. I join a sport club which now I feel soooo damn lucky to know the sport. I have no idea if I not joined hockey club.

Allah work with mysterious way. Allah not allowing us easily got what we want without any effort, sacrifation, suffer and else. But at the end you can smile and see what you had through.

Ok. It was just an intermezo about what I had done lately. Counting blessing everyday and I am losing my count. Because it is toooooooo much. Alhamdulillah.

And based on the titlle, Yup, last Fiday I visited Palembang for my last audit visit for this year. Planned to visited Makassar but I felt my boss was too busy and I could't got his advice so I will do the visit next year.

Since 8 months of working in this company, I feel so lucky to had opportunity visited many places in Indonesia. From Surabaya, Jogja, Semarang, Makassar, Denpasar, Palembang and Medan.

Phew... 

It just like what I am dreaming about my job. I could travelling and "paid" by company :p

But if there any opportunity  I also want to travelling around the world just because my job. Hehehehe. *who know...

Thank you Allah.

Thank you so much.

Last long weekend my friends and I visited Kiluan Bay . Ten of us having fun at beach and hunting dolphin in the morning. Here the deeds of our getaway. 

D-2

My friends Feabi told us at group chat that our tour package was cancelled because the travel agent already fully loaded for that days. We try to search new travel agent but most of them already full booked at the same date. Then we decided to not using travel agent but we try to rent car and stay at guest house/home stay. I try to Google it. And let Feabi called the contact person that I found at internet. On the afternoon she confirmed that the home stay already booked and rent car already had deal.

*breath normally 

D-1

Arrived at home around 10:30 pm. I just arrived from Pekanbau for work. And not yet packed!!

The Day

Seven of us from Jakarta met up at Gambir Station took Damri bus to Lampung. We stopped at Tanjung Karang, Lampung. From Jakarta we continue to reached Lampung by ferry. Stop at Merak port we hopped on ferry to Bakauheuni port. It tooks 2-3 hours from Merak-Bakauheuni by ferry and took 2 hours from Gambir Station - Merak port by bus.

Around 3pm we reached Bakauheuni and continued our trip to Tanung Karang. Bakauheuni to Tanung Karang was about 1,5-2 hours. Around 5pm we reached Tanjung Karang and met up completely at Tanjung Karang, Lampung. And we decided to started to heading to Kiluan tomorrow morning we stay a night at there. 

D+1

Our cars already ready for heading to Kiluan. From Tanung Karang to Kiluan it took 2 hours. The road condition to reach Kiluan not really good. There were some road really awful. You must be very careful when you drive. 

At 8:30 am we already reached our home stay. Put our staff in the house and prepared our self for visited Pasir Putih

We back to home stay and wait for lunch which served by the wife of the home stay owner. We had delicious lunch :9

After lunch we headed to Pulau Kalapa. Island across the Kiluan. Our tour guide rent the life jacket and snorkel gear. That was my very first time had snorkel *um yeah..

And I was amaze... saw a lot of school fish down there.. Oh lovely. Totally envy with my friend who can swim without life jacket. Swim freely

After feel enough to snorkel, Koplak, we called our tour guide like that because he is ridiculous and silly, took us to Laguna to watched sunset. We had no idea where he will took us. But when there is a cliff.. about   7 meters, he said us the Laguna is behind the cliff. And I was shocked.. It was totally extreme cliff for me. I collected my gut to climb it. And when you reached the Laguna.. the view was breath taking.. wowww

We didn't get sunset because the cloud was dark.. so we decided to came back. But when we want to go home.. the rain come.. and when after dawn the rain already stop. When we back to home stay by the boat..it was dark and beside us the dark cloud and storm light with creepy wind. Also sometime our boat shaking because the wind. Oh god... super horror.

When we arrived.. our dinner almost ready. Cleaned up our self and had dinner.. after that we all felt sleepy...

D+2

Woke up early to saw dolphins....

our tour guide said yesterday the number of dolphins came out was enormous. And we all soooo excited to heard that. But based on what I read. Dolphin not really like to came out to sea when the wave is quite big. And last night we had rain. Myself lower expectation to saw the enormous dolphin.

We saw plenty dolphin.. and when we headed to dolphin usually came out.. the wave was big.. 

Not quiet happy and satisfied with the dolphin tour... we decided to water fall. Our tour guide said it must by  motorcycle to reached it. Because the road condition super terrible. And YES it is. The road was steep and the condition of road not really good. We stopped at the nearest water fall. not to big.. but we were so happy to swim at there. The water is totally fresh.

That's the end of our trip. 

I heard next week the electricity will came up to the village.. so perhaps next month the cellular signal at there will pretty good. 

We had blank signal when at this trip.. but it was also good. No disturbing message..ait??
